Fans of 28 Years Later are split over the film’s surprising conclusion, particularly a striking nod to a controversial UK figure that has fueled intense discussion.

This closing sequence serves as an epilogue, tying up the main narrative while introducing new characters set to appear in the upcoming sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple.

Intended as a bridge to The Bone Temple, filmed consecutively with the first movie, the ending has drawn criticism for its abrupt tonal shift. The transition from an emotional storyline resolution to the “quirky” introduction of new characters has left audiences divided. Additionally, explicit references to one of Britain’s most infamous figures in recent years have sparked widespread intrigue.

Warning! Spoilers for 28 Years Later follow.
